Death of Jean Scott / Waddle
« on: Wednesday 08 February 17 23:14 GMT (UK) »
I found baptisms for all these children, all have Elizabeth Young as mother except Agnes Weddell  who was   born  10 Oct 1827   and baptised  26 Feb 1831 at Newbattle, Midlothian.
Father  David Weddell     Mother  Jean Scott.

David Weddle married Elizabeth Young  on 16 Feb 1828 at Newbattle

David Weddlel  b 24 April 1829  Newbattle DAVID WEDDLE/ELISABETH YOUNG
Janet Waddle b 31 March 1833 Newbattle DAVID WADDLE/ELIZABETH YOUNG
Marion Waddle b 9 Nov 1838 Newbattle DAVID WADDLE/ELIZABETH YOUNG
 
1841  Whitehill  Dalkeith . All born Midlothian
David Waddell  30 
 Elizabeth Waddell 30
 David Waddell  12 
 Agnes Waddell  13
 Janet Waddell  8
 Marion Waddell  2.

1851 is more useful for Davids age.
 6 Stobhill, Temple, Midlothian.
David Wadell  43  b  Midlothian - Newbattle   
Elisabeth   42   b  Newton   
Janet   Dau   18   b   Newbattle       
Marion   Dau   12 b  Newbattle       
     


I can find no marriage for David and Jean ,  and it seems strange that if Agnes was illegitimate that her father should keep her.
Can anyone solve this, did they marry, did Jean die.  The variations in the Weddell name doesn`t help much.
